Which award is India's highest gallantry award?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Param Vir Chakra
The Param Vir Chakra, instituted on 26 January 1950, is India’s highest military decoration, given for the most conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy in war.
The Maha Vir Chakra and the Vir Chakra are the second and third wartime gallantry awards. The Bharat Ratna is India’s highest civilian award, not a gallantry award.
